Abstract
In four dogs, eight secondary musculocutaneous flaps were created by the vascularization of skin flaps with transposed sartorious muscle. All skin flaps demonstrated excellent viability on clinical follow-up, with vascularity confirmed by fluorescein dye, microangiography, and histologic studies. Potential clinical uses of this method are discussed.
